[Adam James Smith]

I read on this forum some years ago that two epsode sof this satire show were still in existance. Does anyone know the tx dates for these epsodes? (I'm trying to find out which if any of the Ray Davies songs writtne for the series till exist!)

[andrew martin]

The two episodes are 3/2/68 and 17/2/68.

[Adam James Smith]

well, that means that "The Man who conned Dinner from the Ritz" exists.

I have to giggle for a lot of reasons....obviously, my burn-out is only affeting me 80%, and I'm resurrecting an olf thread from 8 years ago, when I'd never heard of the Forum....but....

These are the missing ones:-

What a shame that all those scaffold clips are missing , i know there's few of their performences around but not many.

[krssweet]

The latest find by myself for Kaleidoscope is the audio only for seven lost episodes of "At The Eleventh Hour" a BBC satirical TV show from 1968.

The show combined a review of the week's news with comedy, music & poetry
The Cast Included Jeannie Lambe, Miriam Margolyes and Richard Neville and The Scaffold. Jeannie Lamb would perform a song each week especially written by Ray Davis of the Kinks. Roger McGough contributed a topical poem as well as sketches by the Scaffold.

The episodes recovered are:
30.12.1967
06.01.1968
13.01.1968
20.01.1968
27.01.1968
03.02.1968
10.02.1968

All are in extremely good condition and are a direct line recording

I'm not familiar with Kaleidoscope, is there a way to access these episodes?

Chris

"only surviving"? Do I take this to mean that the 2 episodes mentioned as surviving at the top of this thread don't in fact exist, or have I got it wrong?

[Christopher Perry]

No it means we will show the clip from the missing ep that survives. The BBC do still hold some complete eps.
